Type 81 Preformance

I don't know, but I doubt the type 03 can do any better than a type 87.
The only thing I can think of as a disadvantage to the type 87 is probably its weight, and its muzzle. (The type 87 had a higher weight than the type 81 I think. But the type 81 and AK-47 are both very light guns from what I've read.) The 03's muzzle have some sort of flash hider or something along the line, but I don't know what is there on the 87/81's muzzle.
But the 81 is a good gun though. I would issue it to my troops if I had an army.
But does anyone have the full specs on range?

Guys do you think the Type 81 rifle is a reliable weaponry? The Bangladesh military will mass produce them under license from NORINCO soon so I am waiting to see their quality.

Coming from the Kalashnikova family, I think it'd be rugged, reliable, and easy to clean/maintain. But this also means the Bangladesh army will stay with the 7.62mm cartridge.
I've never served in the military and has only had limited experience with firearms at civilian shooting ranges. So I'll leave the 5.56 vs. 5.8 vs. 7.62 arguement to other experts here. =p

I like the 7.62x39. It does a good job, the 5.56 mm and other smaller ones are too small. NATO tactics is different from our tactics. The 5.56 mm was designed to disable the enemy and not to kill them according to one of my ex teachers (who was a member of the Australian Army).
The 7.62 mm will be continiously used in Bangladesh not only because of its reliability but because all our defence forces use 7.62 mm ammunition and also the factories primarily make 7.62 ammo.

As far as I know, the use of 5.56MM ammo came from U.S Military philosophy. The bullet was made because the 5.56MM was made to be more accurate than soviet 7.62MM ammo and, aparently because of their own fustrations with 7.62MM NATO.
